Being transplanted to San Diego from Boston was enough of an impetus for me to finally stake out a a claim in the blog-o-sphere. Here you'll find whatever strange thoughts meander out of my mind and into the ether.

Sorry I haven't responded to any comments today. I have a huge deadline at work and my typing has been slowed a bit. It's hard to type when your right thumb is BROKEN. That's right, the amazing Brian has done it again. "How could you possibly break your thumb?" I hear you ask. Playing basketball. "What feat of clumsiness caused this?" you undoubtedly follow up. Oho! It was not clumsiness but extreme dexterity and timing. *grin* You see, were it not for my ninja-like reflexes, I would not have deflected that pass so close to its point of origin with my thumb. And the resultant direct hit on the top segment of my thumb would never have occurred. So, if not for my great agility, the bone in my thumb would not have broken between the first joint and the nail.

In case you are curious. After the amazing steal, I did score my teams first basket. Even with a broken thumb. Then more people arrived an I bailed in favor of X-Rays.

Who is "briwei"?

I've been described before as a "very silly man". Granted, I was the one doing the describing, but I'm an excellent judge of character.
I find it hard to label myself in many other ways as the thing I identify with most is making people smile and laugh.
I have two great kids and a wonderful wife and you will likely see things about them crop up in these pages. Family is another big theme with me. I'll try not to be a shameless braggart about my family, but I do consider them pretty special.
I welcome intelligent discourse and even *gasp* opposing views. Please try to keep it civil, however.
